Been listening to a new group out of England called The Puppini Sisters. They do old and new songs alike in an Andrews Sisters style. (They also have a guitarist that obviously likes Django.) Love their voices and harmonies. I especially like their 1940s-style versions of I Will Survive and Heart Of Glass. My favorite this week is their cover of Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights. I like it better than the original. The CD is called Betcha Bottom Dollar. Their MySpace page has videos (scroll down on the page) of live performances and a wonderful animation of Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. Taking a retro sound and making it fresh is always cool, plus they sing great and look great with 40s style hair and clothes.
When my budget can afford it I will be getting 2 new Bossa Nova CDs; one each from Swan Dive and Stephen Bishop. I'll report in on them then! Bye for now.

Wow. Excellent concept, branding and marketing applied to very good talent. Good singing, good production, creative web site. Makes you believe their live show would be a lot of fun.
